        That's precisely how I've set it up here...all non-registered
students receive 10.10.x.x addresses until they register. However, that
doesn't stop someone who is non-registered from just checking their
neighbour's configs and learning their own subnet/DNS/gateway settings
and then just grabbing whatever IP they wish.
        Stopping them is my project for next week ;). As it is, it's
not even a noticeable issue (non-registered static IP clients)...as
someone said earlier in this thread, most students don't know enough or
don't care enough about how any of this works to go to any trouble (and
I appreciate them for it!)

   Actually using a non-routable (reserved for local LAN) address range
   for your unregistered users is best.
   For example:

        pool {
                range 10.11.20.1 10.11.20.199;
                allow unknown clients;
                deny dynamic bootp clients;
                min-lease-time 300;
                default-lease-time 600;
                max-lease-time 1200;
                option domain-name-servers netreg-1.ait.iastate.edu;
        }

        pool {
                range 129.186.21.1 129.186.21.199;
                deny unknown clients;
                deny dynamic bootp clients;
                ddns-updates on;
        }

   You will never route 10.x.y.z past your (campus) border router.
